I just love Merlin.

I don't know how to describe this week's episode but SQUEEEEE!
I've never been very coherent but this is an all time low. And I don't care. My love and squee aren't rational. They just are *g*

Need more Merlin icons. Also need to make a Waily!Feegle icon. Most of all need to talk normal again.

My leg feels better this morning! And miraculously I am not hung over from last night. (Uh, Jean, I totally meant to email you but then I fell asleep. :/ )

So I just made the MOST DELICIOUS OMELETTE EVER.

Here's how you do it:

Fry some bacon and set the bacon aside. (This is the traditional start of every southern recipe ever.)

Into the bacon fat put chopped up leftover french fries and onion straws (like onion rings, only not rings) from last night's meal.

Fry until crispy!

Add two beaten eggs. Cook. Flip! Sprinkle with cheese and then cook some more.

Consider briefly photographing it for your blog before being so enticed by the omelette that you go NOM NOM NOM instead. With bacon.

The recipes tag on this post is very much in airquotes. "Recipes".

As a follow-up to yesterday's Fest Mod Drinking Game, Rosy suggested adding,

Take two drinks every time a participant doesn't meet the prompt.

I'd also add,

Take two drinks every time someone decides that fandom isn't fun anymore/they've got a "real life" now that's cooler than fandom/they're too busy for fandom/they've got a new SO and so they're dropping out of fandom less than two weeks after assignments have been sent out (you would think that would be rare, but actually, it happened in Snupin Santa both last year and this year).

In other news, Mr. T is a spokesman for World of Warcraft, and they just launched a new in-game item called a "Mohawk Grenade" (official game info with a link to a Mr. T promo commercial here. I have screen caps of my Blood Elf Death Knight meeting the legendary Mohawk and buying the grenades.

I've wanted to do one of these about you from the beginning, but I think I've been putting it off because I'm not sure what I'm going to write. It's not that I don't have anything to say about you, or that I don't have plenty of thoughts and feelings about you. But those thoughts and feelings are complex and multi-layered, and you're complex and multi-layered, and I'm not sure where to start.

Perhaps it's easiest to begin with the music angle, because I knew you as a musician before I knew you as a friend. I've always thought you were a very talented musician with a amazing voice. Over time I came to see the genuine love you have for it -- for the music itself, and the creation of it. I think you're one of those people who makes music because you just can't not make music; it's just an intrinsic part of who and what you are.

I'm grateful that I've had the opportunity to get to know you beyond that, however, because you're one of the most singular and original individuals I've met -- and I've known a lot of unusual folks. There's just no one else out there remotely like you. You're intelligent, diverse, witty, fun, loyal, determined, and about a zillion other adjectives I could list. But listing them is fairly pointless, because a collection of words can't adequately describe the overall sense of you that exists in my head. So, er, I might as well just stop trying and tell you that you're seriously awesome and totally one of the cool kids. ;)

If you don't know what the heck this is all about, the explanation is here.

Tycho: The exact total is $542,107.01 - a jump of just over eighty-six thousand over last week's figure.  We'll take it, certainly.  But I warn you: my palm is poised over the knob labeled Stirring Rhetoric.  I can crank this mode like you would not believe.  Act Accordingly.         Desert Bus 2009 is currently underway, and even though they've got over twenty-five thousand in donations and a mind-shredding one hundred and ten hours of that awful thing to play, they pegged it at over seventy thousand last year - so we've got some work to do.  I did mine earlier, swinging ...

Lily's safe with Rachel. Are we ready?

R came over this evening. I give you your nightly quote:

R: Oh, so, you gotta see these shoes I bought from this guy.
Sam: Fancy shoes?
R: So fancy.
Sam: Wait, who is 'this guy'? Like, a guy at a department store? Or, ahahaha, some guy on the street?
R: YOU LAUGH BUT HE SOLD ME SOME GREAT SHOES.
Sam: You bought shoes from a random dude on the street?
R: And they are the finest footwear I have ever acquired. So, it was two in the morning, right --
Sam: You bought shoes from a random dude on a street at two in the morning.
R: HE WAS A SHOE-SHINE!

Apparently they're really nice shoes.

*a very wet gasp*

You... have my son.

In The Rhythm Of Loving You

Albus enters the sitting room in Turkish-style slippers with curled toes.

Severus, have you by any chance an idea of what may have happened to all of my socks?

I don't like football, except for the lulz factor that comes from men in lots of padding falling all over the place, but in this case, I wholeheartedly approve of what they're trying to sell to me!

Draco. (How can I help?)

Marik,
Come to Lake Cottage. It's urgent. Don't tell anyone, just come.
D

*a door slamming open*

Issy, in drawer at the base of that bookcase are maps. I want the largest of the three maps of Hogwarts lake and grounds. And I need you to go to Borgin and Burke's and get me... No, they won't serve you. Go to Owlsmere and tell Miss Parkinson I need her here immediately, or even sooner. And then to Mr Goyle's house... I don't know the name of his house... and ask him to go to Borgin and Burke's and get me these things...

*scrabbling for paper*

Are you all right, Lily?

Blaise,
I don't know if you're in reach of a Patronus, so I'm sending Vega for you. Please come to Lake Cottage right away. If I'm not there, stay with Lily, please, and wait for me.
Draco
